The treatment landscape of major depression is increasingly shifting from monoaminergic agents to agents that modulate glutamate and GABA. Healthcare professionals need to stay up to date and educated on these changes in order to discuss the most current treatment options with their patients. In this podcast episode, we interview Dr Anita Clayton, a clinician researcher who has been involved in some of the clinical trials for these novel glutamatergic and GABAergic medications, and ask her key questions about mechanism of action and clinical application. Listeners will come away from this podcast episode more informed and more excited for the future of major depression care.

Rett syndrome is a rare but severe neurodevelopmental disorder, and current treatment approaches primarily focus on symptom management and supportive care. However, recent clinical developments are providing hope for a changing treatment landscape. In this podcast episode, experts in Rett syndrome David N. Lieberman, MD, PhD, and Jeffrey Neul, MD, PhD, discuss trofinetide and blarcamesine, 2 agents in late-stage clinical trials as treatment options for Rett syndrome. Throughout their conversation, Drs Lieberman and Neul review the pivotal LAVENDER, DAFFODIL, AVATAR, and EXCELLENCE trials, including information on the safety and efficacy profiles of trofinetide and blarcamesine. The experts end their discussion with a conversation about the potential roles of ketamine and gene therapy in the management of Rett syndrome.

Rett syndrome affects many organ systems, and each patient has individual symptoms and experiences—there is no “one-size-fits-all” treatment approach. In this podcast episode, Rett syndrome experts David N. Lieberman, MD, PhD, and Shannon Standridge, DO, MPH, discuss some of the more common manifestations of Rett syndrome and current management strategies. While covering manifestations such as epilepsy, behavioral issues, and gastrointestinal distress, they highlight the value of a team approach to help the patient thrive. Throughout their conversation, Drs Lieberman and Standridge weave in real-world examples of interactions they have had with families of patients with Rett syndrome and offer insights on communication strategies for different aspects of management.

In this podcast episode, Leslie Citrome, MD, MPH, and Adam Lowy, MD, share a wealth of knowledge about long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics. Their conversation begins with an overview of the pharmacokinetic profiles of LAI antipsychotics and how they differ from their oral counterparts, as well as injection intervals available with current formulations. The experts also discuss the clinical utility of LAI antipsychotics in psychiatry practice, highlighting their role in assuring medication adherence and their application in both first- and later-episode psychosis. Finally, Drs Citrome and Lowy hit on practical aspects of incorporating LAI antipsychotics into patient care: communicating with patients to dispel myths and stigma surrounding injectable medications, identifying injection resources in your medical community, and strategies to navigate insurance barriers.
Throughout the podcast, Drs Citrome and Lowy reference several links to outside sources that can provide valuable education on LAI antipsychotics. Those links are listed below for your convenience.

In this podcast episode, experts in Rett syndrome, David N. Lieberman, MD, PhD, and Jeffrey Neul, MD, PhD, provide a comprehensive overview of Rett syndrome (RTT), a rare but severe neurodevelopmental disorder. They begin with a discussion on the clinical characteristics and typical disease progression of RTT before diving into the various genetic markers and how they may, or may not, be used in the diagnosis and prognosis. Finally, the experts ponder the future of RTT diagnoses, touching upon how we might identify RTT and intervene earlier, potential utilization of biomarkers, and the role of measurement-based care.

In this podcast episode, epileptologists Aatif Husain, MD, and John Stern, MD, have a conversation about rescue therapies and how they fit into the spectrum of epilepsy management. Their discussion begins with sharing what they consider the utility of rescue therapies to be in the overall spectrum of epilepsy. As the conversation goes on, they address the role of rescue therapies in more specific patient populations, such as the newly diagnosed patient, a patient experiencing seizure clusters, and patients who may be experiencing either very few or relatively many breakthrough seizure events. In all scenarios, the experts relate the use of rescue therapies as “insurance”—hoping that the agents don’t have to be used, but having them available as coverage in the worst-case scenario. The podcast goes on to discuss rescue therapies in terms of available routes and mechanisms of action and practical strategies for talking to patients about these agents. Rounding out the episode, Drs Husain and Stern express their hopes for future developments in epilepsy management.

In this podcast episode, Marwan Sabbagh, MD, FAAN, and Marta San Luciano, MD, MS, FAAN, have a conversation about Parkinson’s disease psychosis (PDP). Their discussion provides information on the disease itself—covering symptoms, risk factors, and mechanism—before moving into clinical strategies for diagnosis and disease and comorbidity management. The experts emphasize the importance of ruling out an underlying cause of psychosis before making a diagnosis of PDP, calling out common culprits such as urinary and respiratory tract infections. Following diagnosis, they comment on the value of implementing nonpharmacologic measures in tandem with pharmacologic interventions for PDP. Within the discussion of pharmacologic interventions, Drs Sabbagh and San Luciano give a well-rounded explanation of patient and medication factors they consider when choosing a treatment for their patients with PDP, including patient outcomes they have experienced in clinical practice. Rounding out the podcast, the experts touch on their approach to managing the very common comorbidity of sleep disturbances in patients with PDP.

In this episode, Christoph U. Correll, MD, and John M. Kane, MD, discuss the various etiologies of tardive dyskinesia (TD). Although most healthcare professionals are aware of the risk for TD that comes with first- and second-generation antipsychotic use, there is less awareness around other modifiable and unmodifiable factors that increase risk for TD development. Some modifiable risks include metoclopramide use, anticholinergic use, and substance use disorder; unmodifiable risks include older age and female sex. The doctors agree that, regardless of the level of risk, careful documentation and evaluation should be conducted with patients to detect TD early—should it develop. Their conversation rounds out with considerations for treatment approaches and clinical pearls garnered from years in practice.

In this episode, Joseph F. Goldberg, MD, and Roger McIntyre, MD, FRCPC, shed light on the symptom improvement timeline in bipolar depression. This is a topic made more complex when factoring in individual patient characteristics and comorbidities, but the 2 experts have astute insights on how to tailor a management plan based on such factors. They cover symptom management and improvement from a variety of angles, including evaluating improvement in functionality and mood, guidance on follow-up and dose adjustment schedules, the utility of measurement-based care, and—of most importance—how to best communicate with and support a patient while they work towards remission and recovery.

In this episode, Greg W. Mattingly, MD, and Vladimir Maletic, MD, share their thoughts on treatment strategies across the bipolar depression spectrum. They begin by talking about their stance on treating bipolar with comorbidities with a holistic vs stepwise approach and discuss what strategies they would consider for a patient not yet diagnosed with but who is at risk of developing bipolar depression. In addition, they discuss the concept of phase-specific treatment, considerations for medication-related adverse events, and the utility of adjunctive measures for managing bipolar depression.

In this episode, Greg W. Mattingly, MD, and Vladimir Maletic, MD, have a conversation about the complexities of accurately diagnosing bipolar depression. Bipolar depression can be difficult to differentiate from other psychiatric conditions, such as unipolar depression, depression with mixed features, ADHD, PTSD, and anxiety. This differential is made more challenging in that patients with bipolar depression often have psychiatric comorbidities with overlapping symptomology. Listen as the 2 psychiatrists share their insights on how to act as detectives and weed through clues from current symptoms, past symptoms, and family history to reach an accurate diagnosis.
